The margin-top property in CSS is not functioning as intended for a specific pixel value when applied to

I'm having trouble with positioning an icon using margin-top: -35px; under #menu. When I click on the icon, the side navigation bar doesn't work properly. However, if I adjust it to -15px, the side navigation bar displays correctly. Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

Answer №1

Experiment with switching the display property from block to inline for your anchor tags:

.sidenav a {
  display: inline;
}

Afterward, feel free to eliminate the margin top.
